Carol, I always wanted to ask you how do you take pictures of people everywhere without them getting upset? Or pictures inside the stores, etc. Here, we tried ONE time at the mall and every store said NO! I love your street pictures and your comments on them!

Carol, thanks for sharing the fashion shows with us. Its a past time for me that I miss very much :) I love all the cobalt blue..one of my favorite colors. I have a ton of jewelry now I need that skirt :) I was reading on another site that Bryant Park has called it quits...is that really true??? Very sad!

I have been enjoying your Paris trip with Bear. You never get stale in what you post. There is always some fun thing to look forward to. I do have to say that I loved that black outfit with that little bit of Royal blue skirt showing. Thats such a wonderful color. I need to find something in that color to wear.

I saw your blog on francising Laduree in NYC, I would really appreciate it if you can advise me on how to go about franchising. I would love to open a franchise here in Sydney Australia.Thanks heaps.Susan

I am avid follower of Paris Breakfasts from Dorset on the south coast of England. I have been laughing my head off at Bear's escapades in Paris and have been throughly delighted and entertained by posts of your recent trip.absolutely fantastic!!Salutations.

Bear, you're the BEST and I don't mind saying that I have some bears here who have quite the crush on you (you're awfully cute!). Thank you for another lovely adventure. Please come back again soon with your mommy :)

Where , oh where did I put my old Channel bag? It wasn't in the hall closet with my clutch from Target. It wasn't in the master closet with my Sears Hobo knockoff. Not in the laundry room with my Lancome giveaway bags. Not in the guestroom with my out-of-season straw totes. Oh! I don't have a Channel to dust off!

Since I found your blog first time by searching the difference between Croissant ordinaire and beurre, I have been enjoying your site every day. I moved in Paris two month ago after I lived in US for 8.5 years (most of the time I was in Manhattan, NY). Even though I am getting confused with my identity, I am genetically 100 % Japanese and very interested in where you had green tea, which was introduced in your blog today!! Could you please tell me the tea place?Thanks!YukakoPS. I would love to take a macaron class in Ritz!!

I was just reading your blog about Bear's recent trip to Paris in March. This has me considering the possibility to going in March instead of April. We do want to visit lots of gardens, and would like to know if everything is green and blooming at this time of year? I'm guessing there probably isn't a big difference in weather in the two months, and we would actually prefer temps on the cooler side. If you wouldn't mind, I would truly value your opinion regarding visiting in March.Merci Beaucoup,Marilyn

Why not just ask people if you can take their photos? I routinely do this and in 4 years have been turned down about twice (for very good reasons since they were elders). I do, however, like your photos of people's backs; that technique has always fascinated me and I have many of my grandkids backs...so beautifully formed and healthy. Love your fashion show photos.

it seems such an invasion to ask..and I'm shyI like my anonymity which I'm losing fast with the damn#@! hat pic.I think I prefer to stalk ppl. Chasing after ppl and dogs has it's advantages=you get exercise!Odd non?

It is amazing how you get away with so many really great shots --- I was in the book store here in the states and snapped a picture of almost a bare shelf -- of one lone teapot and some one came right over and thought I was a store designer and stealing their display ideas,, if I was it wouldn't have been there,,, anyway I said it was for my blog -- and he let me keep the pic. But said NO to anymore-- so now they remember me whenever I came in. Maybe they are waiting for the blog story of the lone teapot?

And WE ADORE Paris Breakfasts!Thank you again for the mention! We can't wait to see you in Paris again!!! :-)To @Yukako, we had tea at Toraya, 10 rue Saint-Florentin in the 1st. It was a first for the three of us and the desserts looked delicious!
